@BashStKid hello! No, I don't do any fieldwork as part of my PhD, though I went to some cool places in undergrad! One of the selling points of my project is that I use a massive global dataset, and so there isn't an obvious field location. All the data is publicly accessible online so I just use that!

What kind of things did you do with moment tensors?

👋 @bmatb, happy #LGBTSTEMday! I'm Rebecca and I'm a queer PhD student at Oxford doing research on earthquake mechanics.

I get lots of joy from building queer community (and if like today community involves lots of snacks and ice cream, then even better!)

Since there was interest, I have set up a Google Form/Sheet for Earth Scientists on Mastodon.

Interested in #geology and #EarthScience and want people to find you? Add your name.

However, please do not add anyone who is not you without explicit permission - some people might prefer to be discovered more organically, or not at all.

Since it's #LGBTQinSTEM Day, I thought it was time for an #introduction!

I'm a PhD student at Oxford where I study #earthquake mechanics, particularly an idea called determinism: do big and small earthquakes start the same, and does this mean we can determine magnitude before an earthquake rupture is over?

I'm a member of the #QueerInSTEM and #DisabledInSTEM communities and am passionate about EEDI work, including co-running my department's LGBTQIA+ group (today we're going for ice-cream! 🍦)
